    Hi John,

    yes I tried SB some time ago. The main reason of my note was that I didn't see any link between what you wrote and the main issues discussed in the video, which is IDE with easy to use input system for cellphones + language direct access to specific hardware features such as accelerometer.

    I wasn't able to watch the video on Ubuntu & Firefox.

    I misunderstood and assumed that the topic was about scripting cell phones. ScriptBasic is being used in a commercial router as it's scripting language and by the University of Toronto to control all their environmental systems. (6 million sq. ft.) SB is embedded in custom controllers running an embeddable centric Linux.

    JavaScript is the browsers scripting language. That seems to be a given.

    I'm not sure if there is a scripting standard in place for mobile devices. By default, ScriptBasic is an embeddable script language. That in itself makes it an ideal scripting candidate.

    There is some text/picture information available on the topic:
    http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/.../touchdevelop/

    The video is scripting related, but the focus is on the two areas I mentioned previously. I am not sure if the article will give you the same informational value as video, as seeing it in action is better.

    What I am still not convinced about is the highlevel syntax structure with long lines. On small display the word wrapped lines look not so good. Second extreme is one instruction per line (like on calculators or assembler), which has easy to follow structure, but forces user to scroll like mad and decoding more complex expressions becomes tiring.

    I am curious if "something between" could be invented. Maybe just using the phone in landscape orientation and with horizontal scrollbar would help the first approach.

    I will be demonstrating a high level GTK based GUI syntax for ScriptBasic soon. I'm not interested in Android as a development platform.
